What we collect, why, and how to remove it.
DrugNote is built to be useful without knowing who you are. We collect the minimum needed to run the site.
If you only browse
Anonymous request logs (IP, user agent, URL, referrer) are retained for 30 days for abuse prevention and traffic analysis. We do not set advertising cookies. We do not share logs with third parties.
If you sign in
We store your email and the provider you signed in with (e.g. Google). We use this to attribute reviews you submit and to email you when a drug you requested goes live. We do not sell, rent, or share this information.
If you submit a review or drug request
Reviews are public after moderation but never carry your email. Drug requests store your email only until the drug is live, then the email is deleted.
Cookies
We use a single session cookie for sign-in and a cookie-free preference store for the disclaimer banner state. No tracking cookies, no analytics SDKs bundled with third-party fingerprinting.
Your rights
- Access — email [email protected] and we will return everything we hold within 30 days.
- Deletion — email the same address; we delete account, reviews, and logs within 7 days.
- Correction — email with the correct value and we update.
